college students and under, show off your tanks!!!

[Scoobaman17]

This thread is for the young people who love this hobby. College students and under, show off your tanks and if no pics then tell all about them. It's time to let us school students in on the fun!
Since I'm now going to be a senior next year I'll go ahead and start off.

These are my tanks & inhabitants.






The above pictures are of my 75 gallon reef.
The ones below are of my Hawaiian dragon moray eel setup including an arrow crab and a fidler crab not shown.


And my summer project is to switch my 75 reef to a 240 gallon.

My favorite ricordia




Candy Cane



Manderian



and Hawkfish

[Scoobaman17]

Awesome tank. I read in another post that you were scared to buy a lion, how come?

[new2u]

ehh, the shrimp, the clowns even the hawkfish. I used to work a LFS and I witnessed lions devour all of the following. The hawkfish was actually bigger than the lion and it took it 2 weeks to digest. I mean why mess with whats working ya know?

[Zoalander]

very nice pics, love that pic of your eel scoobaman. You should send it to a magazine. My 42 is still in the works, going to try to get pics soon.

I'm 15 BTW. I like reefing

[dfiddy]

just turned 23.. still have about a year left up @ UConn.. car accident caused by a drunk driver on new years eve and the 2 months @ the hospital afterwards kept me outta this past semester @ school.. had 2 29g's up until end of March/beginning of April when I decided since I was home all the time unable to do anything else, might as well upgrade the tank.. transferred the two into the new 75g that I have running! Built the stand for this myself for just a few dollars as my grandfather was a carpenter and we had all the tools and a BUNCH of 2x6's around. Fun project!






Kobe the PinkSpotted Watchman Goby i just picked up this month at our local reef club meeting


CandyCane coral I got from a club member while his tank was experiencing some heat problems as well


7 polyp ricordea rock.. a bit crowded on each other but i'm too scared to try to relocate these guys


putting the primer on the stand


have to use the kitchens' stepstool to get into the tank since I built the stand so high.. to give plenty of room for a 29g sump/fuge and so that I wouldn't have to bend over as much to look at the tank

[DJ88©]

Well my convocation isn't until friday.. so technically I am still a student. I didn't set the camera or anything so it's kinda bright, no actinics on(too lazy to turn them on) and I didn't clean the acrylic.. but here is mine..

[phergus_25]
